The Clevy Keyboard 3 offers USB & Bluetooth connectivity: wired and wireless in one. Watch the video to learn how to switch between them.
Other than updated connectivity, we have included other new features in this version:
Characters up to 4x bigger than standard keyboards, enhancing visibility and ease of use. The keyboard maintains a standard size.
Constructed with a steel plate and equipped with high-quality ALPS switches, the Clevy Keyboard is built for over 50 million keystrokes, ensuring durability and a consistent feel.
Vertical key arrangement improves hand positioning and simplifies the structure. The keyboard also has less function keys than a standard keyboard, focusing only on essential keys. The keyboard contains 67 keys.
The keyboard features large, bold Arial Black letters for maximum readability. After extensive research, this font proved to be the most effective font for the visually impaired.
This Keyboard uses alternating black and white keycaps to enhance visual focus and emphasize the letters. By shifting the visual focal point to the letters themselves, the keyboard offers improved orientation and readability.

The Key Repeat switch on the back of the keyboard lets you enable or disable repeated characters when holding down a key. This hardware solution overrides any software exceptions on your device, making it ideal for people who need guidance with their motor skills.
Designed to channel spilled liquids away from internal components, thus protecting the electronics and extending the keyboard’s lifespan.
The Clevy Contrast Keyboard offers the same functionality as the Clevy Keyboard, but the keys are more visible for people with reduced vision in addition to other limitations. It is perfect if you don’t want the colorful lay-out of the Clevy Keyboard.
